Certified Dental Assistant Program - Joanne Gibbons-Smith

I am a full-time Certified Dental Assistant instructor at ÐãÉ«ÊÓƵ. I started my academic career in 2010, where I was employed as a relief instructor for the program. This inspired me to continue to advance my skills and teaching experience and I was pleased to be appointed into a part time position in 2015 and then a full-time position in 2016 and was the chairperson for the program during these last 6 years. This leadership position has provided opportunities to advance my career and be a collegial educator. Prior to my role in CDA education, I worked as a CDA in various general and specialty offices throughout Vancouver. I relocated to the ÐãÉ«ÊÓƵ in 2007 and completed my Prosthodontic module at ÐãÉ«ÊÓƵ in 2008 which I currently teach. I am passionate about dentistry and participate on professional committees as a CDA and CDA educator provincially and nationally. The ÐãÉ«ÊÓƵ is a wonderful place to live and raise my family and we enjoy all the beauty it has to offer. With over 15 years of experience, I am proud to share my CDA knowledge and expertise with the current and future students at ÐãÉ«ÊÓƵ.
